Southern states? Is that all you know about slavery?
It is time to take you to school.
After the DOI was signed the slave states were: Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
Seems like there was one more. Oh yes, New Jersey.
New Jersey was a slave state.
And later New Jersey joined with the other states to unanimously enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution.
New Jersey voted for slavery.
Not necessarily because New Jersey liked slavery. Probably the only reason New Jersey voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution was because the state's leadership determined it was in their own economic and political best self interest.
And now you know.
Slavery ended in NJ in 1809. So who do you think you’re schooling Reb?
The Southern states fought a war to preserve it.
So now YOU know.
And your side STILL LOST! Now didn’t it?
Take ME to school?
That’ll be a the day a democrat like you EVER does that, loser.
And answer this question Mr Know It All, you know, the question you keep avoiding, the one all you Lost Causers keep avoiding:
If the South had won the war would it have freed the slaves?
And there is NO mention of slavery in the DOI. So now you know.
